Gods’ ‘To Do’ List

“For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works,

which God prepared in advance for us to do.”

Ephesians 2:10

So many people struggle with finding the will of God for their lives that they miss the will of God for their lives.

What do I mean by that?

We walk past the obvious will of God in order to try to find the personal will of God.

We are so determined to find the “I” or “Me” will that we miss His will.

God has a ‘to do’ list for all of us.

As a matter of fact it was prepared in advance and it consists of good works.

Look around you every day and you will see plenty of opportunities to do good!

We often become paralyzed by wanting to be sure it is the will of God for our lives that we wait for the proverbial lightning bolt to hit us before we act.

But doing good in His name will always be the right thing to do.

A kindness extended, generosity of heart, a comforting word to a hurting heart; each of these are opportunities to do good works that we might otherwise pass up while we are waiting for the Spirit to speak.

I am not advocating that we not live by the Spirit but so often the Holy Spirit presents us with chances to be a blessing but we walk away claiming we did not hear an audible voice instructing us to do good.  

Look today for those opportunities to do good.
